As usual, Virgin Atlantic are matching British Airways Club World sale mentioned in the previous post by having their own Upper Class sale. London to New York is available for £1,200. Note, the special offer page is also quoting the London – Tokyo offer as £1,200 in upper class – however the lowest airfare available is £2,000, so this is a mistype (which is a shame as a £1,200 fare to Tokyo would have been exceptional value…!) Book by November 25th for travel generally between November 20th and December 31st.
